What! Both of you guys are way off the mark. Really, now.

The word was mix. However, because she was playing boggle, the word was in all caps: MIX. The number 1009, in roman numerals, is: MIX. I'd like to know what bastard synth reads MIX as 1009, though. Contriving puzzles for us, are you Lynn? <grin>

Thinking something must have flashed up on screen or something, though why it would do that, I couldn't say, I tried going up and down to the previous and nextwords, which read ok, but this one word would keep reading as "one thousand and nine". All of a sudden, I got it, without actually looking at the word in question. So now, here's your challenge. Can you guess what the word was, and why it read like that? I'll give you one clue, to be fair, because I probably wouldn't have got it without knowing this: The words I was looking at at the time all started with the letter M.Have fun Lynn
